Key ASIME Benefits
The Adelphi Summer Institute in Mathematical Epidemiology (ASIME) is an immersive five-week research experience for academically talented high school students. The program features original research projects in cancer epidemiology and infectious disease models applied to New York State COVID-19 data.
You will work in groups with Adelphi applied mathematics faculty and full-time research assistants from Adelphi’s mathematics and computer science programs. The program runs as a day camp Monday through Thursday and includes daily meals on campus and weekly visits from leading experts on data science and epidemiology.
ASIME offers two exciting areas of inquiry:
- Projects in the epidemiology of ALS, Parkinson’s, heart disease and cancer introduce students to concepts in probability theory, Markov chains and generalized linear regression.
- Projects in infectious disease modeling introduce students to differential equations, compartmental models and parameter fitting.
All projects involve data analysis and visualization. You will learn these concepts on the fly as your projects demand, so the program is suitable for a wide range of backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, statistics and life sciences.
